Wonderful little Day Spa. I found Ocean Day Spa accidentally years ago when they first opened. Their cozy little spa is always spotlessly clean, nurturing and calm. They use only the best products, clean and natural and effective. I’ve had many massages of all types (hot stone, aromatherapy, Himalayan salt, CBD, and more) along with many many wonderful facials (pumpkin mask, layered, citrus, and more). I can honestly say each and every service I have had over the years has been exceptional. I love that they always have a pot of healing tea brewing to greet you when you arrive. They sometimes have monthly specials, which gets me trying new things. So fun! Everyone who works there is calm and kind, professional and efficient. I’ve bought nice unique gifts and self-care products from the spa over the years (like The Proper Roller) and I am so grateful for their knowledge that has helped me take care of my body and ease pain. Ocean Day Spa is a wonderful gem for taking care of yourself, nurturing yourself, and keeping your skin glowing and healthy too. Give them a try, you will be very happy you did! I’ll take some photos next time I go and post them here later.

First time going to Ocean Day Spa and I was so glad I gave them a try! Booking online was easy and I got the 50 minute CBD massage with Mikenna. She was very professional and did an amazing job with my massage. I left feeling very happy and relaxed.

I've been coming here for two years. At one point I was coming every week. Over the years I've brought my husband and son but couldn't my daughter because she was too young. She's been excited to come here like her brother since she was 10 when I started coming here.

I waited until my daughter's 12th birthday to bring her here. My daughter and I share the same birthday and we planned a special day around coming to get massages together. It's also my birthday.

My little girl has OCD and severe anxiety. She was nervous, since it's her first time getting a massage. I thought the most awkward part would be to get undressed down to her underwear. That's what we focused on before going. I didn't think anything else could go wrong.

I had already undressed when one of the therapists came in saying my daughter said she's 10. Huh? Turns out I had fill the form too fast and wrote the wrong last number for her birth year. I'm used to writing 2024 and I accidentally wrote 2014 instead of 2012.

Anyway, therapist Kristen busted in when my daughter was completely undressed and already nervous. Ask her for her age which my daughter responded with "I turned 12 today". She didn't believe her and told her that she's 10. My daughter got scared, frozen and couldn't answer any of her questions.

I threw a shirt over so I could come out to see what's happening.

To make matters worst, Beth the therapist was commenting in the background suggesting that I was a liar and asking my daughter for proof. While repeating "Children should know their age" (Do you have children? Do you have children with special needs? Do you know what happens when a child is scared? Hello?)

They made us feel like criminals instead of frequent guest who they've known and seen for two years.

We ended up not able to get massages. Not only was our birthday ruined (both my and my daughter's)....

My daughter is now completely traumatized and refuses to get another massage.

Receptionist didn't say a word. Didn't try to understand what happened. Didn't ask us if we are okay. Didn't try to keep us as a customer. Didn't try to make things right. No apologies. Nothing.

My coming here for years, spending thousands and this is how I am treated on my birthday. Extremely disappointing, offensive and traumatizing.

A very unassuming location, but worth the visit! I received the 1 hr facial and it was excellent. Very relaxing and one of the better facials I’ve ever had (even outranked fancy hotel day spas!) My therapist was well educated and ensured that I was comfortable and relaxed for the entire service. The price was also right, especially for Eminence products. Will be back soon!

Although Ocean Day Spa has been right next door to my favorite nail salon for years, I had never gone inside. Boy, was I missing the boat! My massage therapist, Ashley, was there to greet me when I walked in the door. It was a welcoming environment with cute decor. They have a nice waiting room and selection of beverages for before and after your massage.

Ashley has skills. She's been doing massage for 10 years, and you can tell. Very strong hands, very knowledgeable, and we had a pleasant conversation (I like to talk during massages). She massaged muscles that other massage therapists don't seem to bother with. I felt like I had been getting incomplete massages all these years.

It was an all-around great experience. I highly recommend Ocean Day Spa and Ashley!

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. I came in with high expectations and I made some comments of constructive criticism. I returned three weeks later and every single one of my suggestions were not only considered but acted upon. I was completely blown away and impressed. Sarah is a gifted esthetician. Her hands have pure love in them. She listens and is attentive and strives to offer her very best. This spa exceeded my expectations in many ways, please recall they were high to begin with. Thank you Sarah.

This was a surprise from my husband. I had never had a professional massage before and this place was fantastic! they ask you about problem areas and what you want out of your session to really make the most out of your time there. Ashley is super friendly and I highly recommend her. I can't wait till my next session.

The lady at the front desk is so nice but the massage therapist was one of the most rude people I’ve ever encountered at a spa. She was one upping me and giving back handed compliments, making snide remarks the whole time. If you’re looking for a high quality massage given by PROFESSIONALS, this is not the place to look.
